4. Morris Purchased Hunter’s Paintings as a Collector
Morris’ testimony on his purchase of Hunter’s paintings also raised some difficult-to-square facts. Morris presented his purchases as stemming from his role as an art investor. He explained to the committee that he first purchased two paintings from Hunter for a total of $40,000. To justify the $20,000-per-picture average price, Morris said that was “consistent with gallery-represented painters, you know, in general.”
However, Morris later testified that he purchased a lot consisting of 11 paintings from the gallery for a total of $875,000, which he said “is common with a starting artist.” “If you get in early and you really like them, a lot of collectors buy a large number,” Morris said.

Hunter Biden KNEW the identity of at least 70% of his art purchasers, the majority being big-money Democrat donors.
There was NO ethics plan put in place by the White House, according to his own art gallerist.
His art gallerist also said HUNTER’S NAME was a factor in setting the price for this art.
